“Later, the body was buried on a hilltop,” he told to his interrogators, adding that a person named Iqbal used to assist him carrying out these killings.

Separately, another MQM-L activist – Zaheer – confessed to killing a person in 2008. He also admitted his involvement in equipping the party workers and unit offices with weapons, besides conducting firing in Haroon Goth after a dispute.

He told interrogators that he was also present at Karachi Press Club (KPC) when MQM founder Altaf Hussain was delivering an anti-state speech on August 22 last year.

The suspects arrested from District West of the metropolis.

The duo also informed that Nooruddin, Hayat, Kamran, Asif Bhayya and a few others were also involved in the killings. The investigative report said that the suspects named 22 of their accomplices to the law enforcement personnel.
